Over ~7.8 miles of White Oak Creek runs west to east through the middle property along with ~2 miles of Cobb Jones Creek, ~1.4 miles of Campbell Creek, ~1 mile of Lick Creek, plus over ~23 miles of unnamed creeks and tributaries.  WILDLIFE & HUNTING:  In terms of wildlife, the White Oak Creek Ranch has it all. The ranch has a history of healthy, low-fence whitetail genetics. The size of the ranch, topography, diversity, creek draws year-round live water, thick cover, over 40 managed food plots and feeders and upgraded box blinds all play a significant role in hunting success and deer management. Phenomenal native forbs/cover and habitat also provide a home for feral hogs and a growing population of Eastern Turkeys.  WATERFOWL:  Flooded GREEN TIMBER!!! There are many unique amenities to WOCR, but the sheer size and quality of the managed flooded green timber is a site to see. Literally, thousands of mallards and other puddle ducks converge on WOCR each year, where numerous television shows have been filmed. Watching mallards fall into tight timber holes is only a dream for most waterfowlers but not at WOCR. The precision leveled wetlands consist of 8 units total over 580+ acres of managed flooded green hardwood timber, 70+ acres of managed planted wetlands, 60+ acres of natural/managed wetlands on the far west end of the ranch, and numerous oxbows along White Oak Creek. The property’s water assets provide an unmatched duck hunting experience that rivals the best anywhere across Texas. Often compared to the legendary timber of Arkansas, there’s a reason the folks at Mojo Outdoors describe White Oak Creek Ranch as their top hunting destination for mallards. The managed wetlands feature over 5 miles of levees and flood control structures that are designed to flood both wetlands and green timber on demand. The majority of the managed wetlands and timber are fed water by the 128-acre Romal Lake. No matter the rainfall, these managed wetlands can be flooded on demand. WOCR has obtained a rare and valuable permit enabling them to provide members/guests with an indescribable waterfowl experience. Perched at the center of one of the managed wetlands is the “Ultimate Duck Blind”. Accessible via UTVs on a submerged graveled trail, the ultimate duck blind is something guests, kids, clients and members won’t soon forget. The nostalgic duck blind was constructed to accommodate all types of waterfowl enthusiasts. With a wraparound covered, gravel-lined “porch”, enclosed sitting area to get out of the weather, green lights for predawn visibility, propane cooking stove, and covered UTV parking all combine to make the ultimate waterfowl hunting experience in any hunting condition. RANCH MANAGEMENT/HOME CARE:  WOCR has been managed by the same onsite ranch manager for over 35 years. At WOCR, we are focused on maximizing your time enjoying family and friends. With that approach in mind, the ranch management staff will continually maintain and oversee all ranch projects, upkeep and management.

A professional cleaning staff is in place for stays in guest homes. If desired, the cleaning staff are available for personal home cleaning as well on an actual cost basis.  KID/GRANDKID SECTION:  What do you look forward to most in the summer months? Family trips? Summer Camp? Time with family and friends? What if you could have that every weekend at White Oak Creek Ranch? Well, you can! It’s time to play in the mud, jump from the swimming platform or catch your first MONSTER BASS!

White Oak Creek Ranch

Property Description:  Carroll Creek Ranch offers a unique opportunity to own 112.86+/- acres and lease an additional 165.0+/- acres from the Sabine River Authority located just off the banks of the famous Lake Fork. The wooded recreational ranch is located on the quiet blacktop CR 2428 just ~94 miles NE of downtown Dallas and ~10 minutes from the quaint town of Yantis, TX.  The sandy bottom Carroll Creek meanders north to south through the middle of the property and is one of three main feeder creeks flowing into the NE finger of Lake Fork.  The ranch has been utilized for recreational hunting, trail riding, timber production, investment and general outdoor enjoyment, less than 1/2 mile north of Lake Fork!  Additional Leased Land:  Per the Sabine River Authority lease permit there is an additional 165+/- acres of leased land that is renewable on five-year lease terms.  This land can be used for trail riding, general enjoyment, additional fishing and hunting opportunities and insures the privacy of the ranch to the south. History:  Following the annexation of Texas to the United States, 2,633 acres were granted to Oscar Engledow from the State of Texas on Sep. 7, 1847.  Three years later, James Harper Starr began purchasing pieces of the Engledow Ranch including what is now Carroll Creek Ranch.  Since 1850, the Starr/McGee family has owned and operated this property, hunting on and around the land that would become Lake Fork Reservoir and the current day Carroll Creek Ranch. Location: Located on the Wood and Hopkins County line immediately north of Lake Fork, the main road and gate to Carroll Creek Ranch fronts CR 2428 approximately 10 minutes east of Yantis, Texas, and ~94 miles or 1.5 hour drive northeast of downtown Dallas, Texas. Lake Fork Reservoir: Lake Fork Creek rises in the southeastern corner of Hunt County and flows in an easterly direction for 78 miles to its confluence with the Sabine River eight miles southeast of Mineola. The stream drains an area of approximately 685 square miles in Wood, Rains, and Hopkins Counties in the uppermost northeast portion of the Sabine River Basin. The reservoir, owned by theSabine River Authorityof Texas, was constructed to conserve water for municipal and industrial use and funded through deals with Dallas and Longview for the future procurement of water from the reservoir. Lake Fork Dam: The rolled earth fill dam is just over 12,400 feet long.  The reservoir's storage capacity at the conservation pool level of 403 feet above mean sea level is 675,819 acre-feet, the conservation surface area is 27,690 acres and the drainage area for the dam is over 490 square miles above the reservoirs' dam.

Tree Cover:  A good mixture of pine and hardwoods are scattered throughout the property. The pine on the north and west portion of the ranch, west of Carroll Creek, have been meticulously thinned.  By doing so, the sunlight to the forest floor has been opened allowing the forbs and browse to mature and expand.  East of Carroll Creek is a mature hardwood forest indicative of old growth East Texas creek bottoms. Soil:  The soil composition on the tract consists primarily of deposits of the Wilcox soil groups which generally exhibit sandy surface layers with clay dominate subsoils.

Feral hogs, dove and other smaller game can also be found on the Carroll Creek Ranch.  Duck hunting can be exceptional on Carroll Creek or from both the bank or a boat blind on Lake Fork Reservoir. Fishing: Trophy bass fishing on the Lake Fork Reservoir is well respected in Texas.  Due to fishery management efforts of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who began stocking the reservoir with Florida largemouth bass in 1978, the lake is a world-renowned trophy bass haven.  The current state record largemouth bass weighing 18.18 pounds was caught from Lake Fork Reservoir in January, 1992.  Through 2022, over 50 percent (26/50) of the fish on the Texas Top 50 List for the largemouth bass species had been caught in Lake Fork.  Large numbers of channel and blue catfish are also taken each year.
